Nihi Sumba

“Truly exceptional paradise in the wilderness where we have been personably cared for 24/7 by the same amazing Sumbanese butler on the four occasions we have visited, making it always feel like a home away from home. World class surfing and beautiful spa, yoga, gym, stable and sports facilities. Sensational food and relaxing atmosphere with complete respect for however you choose to spend your time while at the resort. The amazing work of the Sumba Foundation makes this an extra special place and it is always a privilege to be welcomed back with such genuine warmth.” — Hazel Davies

“NIHI Sumba is one of those rare places that stays with you long after you leave. Experiencing such a remote Indonesian island through a lens of barefoot luxury, genuine local culture, and effortless hospitality was incredibly special. The people are warm and kind, the service feels deeply personal, and the cuisine is exceptional throughout. Riding the island’s beautiful Sumbanese horses along Nihiwatu Beach, walking through rice fields, jungle trails, and finally across the sand at sunset felt like stepping into another world. There’s something incredibly freeing and peaceful about the way hor” — Malvina Skendo

“Incredible holiday at Nihi. Completely immersed in wilderness while enjoying the kind of luxury and food quality you'd expect in any first-world destination. We stayed in Villa Wulla Marapu, which offered a breathtaking ocean view to wake up to (an image that will stay with me forever), and was perfectly located within walking distance of all the resort's facilities. Highly recommended.” — Marco Marianelli
